Regardless of our religious beliefs, most of us have wondered what heaven looks like. Now you do not need to torment yourself with thoughts: one German photographer has perfectly portrayed him. Calmness, serenity, and an irresistible desire to plunge into this paradise beauty in the series of sea and other landscapes by Thomas Wrede.
Thomas Wrede is a true master, like no one else, who knows how to put reality and his artistic intention into one whole. In his landscapes, peace, space and freedom seem to become tangible. At the same time, they have both risk and fear, especially in early photographs, but despite them, I want to be there, in this open space, to merge with this beauty. Like a lost paradise is found. This phrase can be used to characterize one of the latest photography cycles of Thomas entitled “Seascapes”, which can be called “Landscapes of the Soul”.
“The world for me is like a model of my own image, which I can assemble from the smallest details,” the artist says. He was born in 1963 and is one of the most famous German photographers working in the United States. "It is not objects that have a soul, but images. This is the most important thing to know in photography."
In his early works, Thomas Wrede provided an opportunity for art connoisseurs to see completely different things, putting different meanings in the concept of "landscape". In his Home Landscapes series, he photographed his native places, trying to achieve something special, a dream come true - a perfect mountain landscape, a perfect beach, and so on.
The photo with a football field in the middle of a snowy expanse is taken from one of Thomas's series called "Living Landscapes", in which he skillfully added something unusual to a familiar natural setting.
And in the series "Magic Worlds", for which he received many awards, Thomas Wrede photographed empty places of entertainment and parks in Germany. All this speaks of him as a man of even one art, but who can easily find something new in him.
These and other works of the photographer can be found on his website
